30 Minutes in the Tunnel, Cut to 100 Seconds | Vivian Zhang, United Imaging

Book Ian for your event → iankhan.com | booking@iankhan.com SUMMARY Vivian Zhang of United Imaging describes the world's first whole-body 5 Tesla MRI. Standard hospital scanners run at 1.5 Tesla and high-end imaging centres at 3. She explains what the higher field strength reveals that lower ones cannot, and the scan-time reduction that changes the patient experience entirely. KEY FINDINGS • The world's first whole-body 5 Tesla MRI • Standard hospital scanners running at 1.5 Tesla • High-end imaging centres typically at 3 Tesla • Information visible at 5 Tesla that a 3 Tesla cannot produce • Typical scans keeping a patient in the tunnel 20 to 30 minutes • Clinical procedures reduced to around 100 seconds • Why that time reduction changes patient tolerance • United Imaging's first appearance at HLTH Europe NOTABLE QUOTES "You will be inside of this tunnel for 20, even 30 minutes. We can reduce that time down to 100 seconds." — Vivian Zhang GUEST Vivian Zhang, United Imaging FULL TRANSCRIPT iankhan.com/futurist/vivian-zhang-united-imaging-5-tesla-mri Recorded at HLTH Europe 2026, Amsterdam for The Futurist. ──────────────────── ABOUT IAN KHAN — HEALTHCARE AI KEYNOTE SPEAKER Most AI keynotes end with a better understanding.
